However moth 8 was a very surprising NfG 157, a bloody great Convolvulous Hawkmoth, not something I ever imagined catching in this tiny concrete garden despite many other coastal trappers reporting them.
Potted up for some photos later when it brightens up a bit; had to go in a jam jar as I don't have any pots large enough!!
A short stop at Broadmarsh at half past seven-ish produced an unsurprising Osprey perched up on North Binness having breakfast with an attendant crow waiting for scraps.
Later, at Titchfield a small passage of hirundines and Meadow Pipits, a single Brent Goose and a Wigeon just outside the harbour in company of two Gadwall and two Mallard.
More Mipits arrived during the day and lots of House Martins apperared after lunch. Wader wise just Ruff, Curlew Sandpiper and five Snipe of interest.
Wheatears were on the beach with three or more settling down on scrape islands.
More photos of the Convolvulous HM after getting back.
Signboards good for directing people to birds, here Snipe to the left and Wheatear to the right.
One of twenty or so Sand Martins, just too much of a challenge for me and my camera/lens.
And one of several hundred House Martins
